Windows 10: Can't share files on desktop pc with laptop

Hi,
I'm trying to enable sharing of files located on my win10 (version 1903 OS build 18362.418) desktop pc with my win7 laptop.
Instructions https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...over-a-network are:

1. Right-click or press a file, select Give access to > Specific people
2. Select a file, select the Share tab at the top of File Explorer, and then in the Share with section select Specific people.

The person I'm interested in providing sharing privileges has a name on my laptop, but i not recognized by my desktop.

How do I make him visible?
Or, else, how do I enable sharing under these circumstances?

:)

 

Laptops cannot access desktops via WIFI

I have 3 desktops (all on Windows 10 1803) connected on my LAN. After following this forum for some times and did all the steps as suggested by forum member, access denied, all my desktops are able to view and access one another. I have a printer connected to PC1, and managed to connect all the other 2 PCs to have the shared printer.

I also have 2 more laptops (both Asus with the same Windows 10 1803) connected via WIFI. Performed all the same steps as per the desktops, but I was not able to access PC1. I was able to view all the 3 desktops from the file explorer, but I just can't access all the desktops. However, I was able to access the Asus laptops from desktop PC1.

Anyone able to assist on this matter? Any assistance is highly appreciated.

Network a wndows 7 desktop with a windows 10 laptop


New to this stuff... Can someone detail what has to be done to each PC step by step so that I can share files, printer etc between the systems? The desktop has a wired connection to the router and the laptop is using wifi. Desktop is windows 7 home.

thanks
